An Instant Classic

-J.F. Musial We all have wanted one, at least at one point since its introduction almost a decade ago. Quad exhaust pipes, simplistic lines and an aggressive stance that's hard to miss. The E39 M5 became an instant classic once production began in the late '90s. It is the definition of a sleeper; n

Chrysler Technician: "Don't Buy Our Cars"

-J.F. Musial Every Sunday, much like any other car enthusiast, I go for a nice drive around some unknown back-roads in the state. I drive most of the time trying to get myself lost just so maybe I'll discovery a new stretch of twisties which I can have all to myself for a few fun minutes. My obs

I Love the WindingRoad

-J.F. MusialA few months ago, I stumbled upon some amazing videos while searching YouTube.  I have to hand it to the crew at WindingRoad, they sure know how to put together some badass car videos.  Look at their recent G37 review; if only they were around when Claude Lelouch made Rendezvous.

How Fast Do You Think a Couch Can Go?

Thanks to Jeremy Clarkson, the answer is blindingly fast! Running on a 850CC Mini engine (and rear axle), a coke can for a brake, candy bar shifter, and pizza pie steering wheel; this couch is serious business on the road and the track! Think that's crazy? Watch for the rolling shed and boat! A

Crashing Exotics

-J.F. Musial As a subscriber and daily reader of the Wall Street Journal, I found it somewhat shocking to see this article related to a field I know a thing or two about: exotic cars. Wouldn't ya know it; it seems as if they are crashing.  Before I go off on a rant here and throw my two cents into

Urban Motor Cross

Detroit Offers Steering Wheel Locks to Chrysler Owners

-J.F. MusialIt amazes me to see that Police in Detroit now are giving away steering wheel locks to cope with the problem of so many Chryslers being stolen.  It’s sad to think that "The Club" is the only thing stopping our youth from going on joy rides.  If this isn’t an example of how to put a
